RAGLAND, Alabama -- Ragland Police called in assistance from Gadsden Police Saturday after ammunition, gunpowder, grenades and a spool of fusing were found in a storage facility over the weekend.

The incident happened about 11 a.m. Saturday at a storage facility in Ragland. Workers cleaning out a storage area found boxes of ammunition, gunpowder, a spool of fusing and two hand grenades.

Ragland Police Chief James Brown said the equipment could have been easily purchased at a army surplus store, and that the renter of the facility had been involved in selling guns and ammunition. However, the department called for help in disposing of the material.

When officers arrived from Gadsden, the grenades were found to be inert. All the material was taken into custody and disposed of.

"It was of some concern because it was capable of being used as bomb-making materials," he said. "We don't have any reason to believe it was being kept for that."
